Energy Minister Bayraktar Spoke on Qatar Gas Coming to Türkiye via Iraqi Oil

Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Alparslan Bayraktar, in his evaluation after the visit of Iraqi Minister of Petroleum Basim Muhammed Hudeyir and his delegation to Ankara, said, "If you add a project such as Qatar gas coming to Turkey through Iraq, especially with this Development Path, and some gas remaining in Turkey, and some gas being exported to Europe, this oil and natural gas creates an annual economic size of 80 billion dollars. The Development Path alone is the trade between Iraq and Turkey." "From being a project that strengthens transportation and transportation connections, it can turn into a multi-dimensional energy corridor that includes oil, natural gas and electricity infrastructure."

'Ceyhan can be an energy base'

Stating that TPAO aims to take an active role in different fields in Iraq as well as the Kirkuk fields, Bayraktar said, "We will continue to implement concrete projects in close cooperation with the new Iraqi government. We aim to achieve the 1 million barrel crude oil supply target stated by the Iraqi Prime Minister, Mr. Ali ez-Zeydi, and to turn Ceyhan into a global energy base by increasing the trade volume." he said.
